Argyll Jacket and Waist coat

[RockyR]

Tough for around that price. It's certainly doable, however you may not receive a high quality item that will last many, many years. I stand behind such Scottish companies as Lochcarron, Kinloch-Anderson, Stewart Christie, and of course there are quite a few others that produce high-quality goods - you really get what you pay for - especially with Highland attire. Save up. Don't settle for cheaper, lower-quality items...you may be happier you did in the long run. Just my honest opinon mate.

Cheers,

As an FYI, the jackets we carry (at $330 for an Argyll Jacket and 5 button Vest) are made in Scotland by a company that also makes jackets for at least 1 of the companies you mentioned above under that company's own brand name. Just because a retailer isn't based in Scotland does not mean the product is not Scottish, nor does it mean that it's cheap.

I will agree with you in principle that for the MOST part, you 'get what you pay for', however, an investigation into a product's quality / manufacturing / origin is warranted before writing it off as 'cheap'. If it is a 'made in Scotland' jacket and is a 17 oz barathea with quality tailoring, I would hardly call it cheap, even if the price is lower than some.
